"Rustling!"
The teleportation array had just been completed when a dazzling beam of light suddenly appeared.
A figure resembling a purple mouse suddenly rushed towards Huo Yuhao, sticking close like a kangaroo.
"Why are you here?"
Upon seeing who it was, Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly.
I was just about to pull it off.
But they found that no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't pry it open.
There's nothing we can do but let them have their way.
"This is!?"
Seeing this, Nan Qiuqiu behind her couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment in the depths of her eyes. The newcomer was a girl who was even more outstanding than her.
She was dressed in purple, looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with arched eyebrows and bright, intelligent eyes. Her large eyes blinked and held a divine beauty.
Her dimples appeared as she smiled, making her incredibly beautiful, like a clever and lively elf under the moonlight.
This person is none other than Meng Hongchen.
Nan Qiuqiu could tell that the other party was stronger than her just by looking at the aura emanating from them.
Judging from their close relationship, they are very close.
She felt that her relationship ended before it even began.
"Okay, come down now."
Huo Yuhao patted her on the back and whispered words of advice.
"No, no—"
Meng Hongchen shook her little head and hugged her even tighter.
About two weeks ago.
As usual, she stepped into Huo Yuhao's room.
But the figure who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground was no longer there.
Aside from a few rooms she couldn't enter, she could only go to the office that managed the entire headquarters.
That was Huo Yuhao's clone.
As someone who participated in the Second Round Table Conference and joined the Spirit Pagoda early on, he naturally knew that Huo Yuhao possessed the ability to create clones.
From there, he learned Huo Yuhao's true whereabouts.
They also learned that the Snow Emperor was following them.
Although the clone was also Huo Yuhao, and she liked it just as much, the difference between the real Huo Yuhao and the clone still made her a little uncomfortable.
He doesn't even ask her to come when he goes out to run errands.
This was unacceptable to her.
Through various forms of persistent pleading and cajoling, she learned from her clone that Huo Yuhao would be setting up a teleportation array.
So, at the very moment they were connected.
She couldn't wait to leave.
However, Huo Yuhao's clone did not share this message.
Otherwise, one cannot survive this dream of the mortal world.
The only annoying thing is his clone.
Although the clone shares the same personality as Huo Yuhao, their personalities are not exactly the same.
Just like Kurumi.
Her clones possess various personalities, and sometimes even deviate slightly from the expected ones.
Huo Yuhao received this news from the memory sharing, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
He really didn't know what to say.
"You can stay with me for now, come down quickly." Huo Yuhao patted her hair and comforted her softly.
"Really?"
A gentleman's word is as good as his bond.
Having received assurances, Meng Hongchen reluctantly stepped down from Huo Yuhao's embrace, her beautiful eyes glancing at the two behind her, who simply nodded in agreement.
Don't ask, the answer is that the clone revealed all this information.
He was busy with the affairs of Luoyang City and the Spirit Pagoda all day long. If he were disturbed by Meng Hongchen again, he would have to work overtime tonight and would not be able to listen to music in the brothel.
The only way to distract them was to send them some messages.
"Master Nan, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll be leaving soon, so I won't trouble you any further," Huo Yuhao said simply, looking at the two of them.
He originally planned to go to the Heavenly Soul Empire to discuss cooperation.
But things are different now. He needs to obtain his sixth soul ring, so he plans to change course and head to the Demon Forest of the Sun Moon Empire to hunt the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye.
While we're at it, let's set up a teleportation array in the Spirit Tower of the Sun and Moon Empire and arrange for someone to come and stay there.
As for the Heavenly Soul Empire...
He could only send one clone along.
There are too many things to do.
At this point, you can start using clones.
On the streets of Dilong City.
Meng Hongchen became much more lively. She casually picked up a hair clip and put it in her hair, then looked at Huo Yuhao expectantly and asked, "How is it? Does it look good?"
"The purple hair clip is very pretty and it enhances your temperament even more," Huo Yuhao said after examining it carefully.
"What about this one?"
"nice."
"This is beautiful."
Neither of them were short of money; they bought whatever they liked.
Of course, it was mostly Meng Hongchen who was buying them.
-
Huo Yuhao was responsible for paying the money.
They're mostly small gadgets.
In just fifteen minutes, Huo Yuhao was holding a bunch of snacks in his hands and had a half-eaten cake in his mouth.
"This is delicious, Yuhao, you should try it." Meng Hongchen handed Huo Yuhao the egg tart she had just taken a bite out of.
"Um----"
Looking at the food that he could no longer lift, Huo Yuhao used a wisp of his mental power to draw it to his mouth, and said with a wry smile, "Delicious."
He suddenly understood something.
Why were those who had girlfriends in their past lives so miserable?
Those who don't have it are all restless.
What you possess is always accompanied by worries amidst happiness.
The two were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, attracting most people's attention wherever they went. Seeing the envious and jealous looks from those around them, Huo Yu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Little sister, aren't you tired after walking around all night? Please, please go back to the inn and rest!"
"Brother, are you sure you can handle this? You've been saying you're tired eight times in two hours!"
"Women are terrifying; they drain all their energy just by going shopping—"
"It's clearly because you're too weak!"
Not far away, a pair of handsome twin siblings, a boy and a girl, were bickering as they strolled through the streets.
The man's fatigue was very obvious.
It is common knowledge that women have unlimited energy when shopping, while men's energy is depleted at twice the rate. So, the man was now fantasizing about taking his sister back to the inn to rest.
The woman complained with exasperation, "We finally managed to get out and have some fun, and Zhang Hao, you're such a spoilsport!"
Suddenly, the woman noticed that her brother's face and ears had turned bright red, and he looked like a steamed crab. She exclaimed in shock, "Brother, are you alright? Never mind, let's go back to the inn to rest."
"No----"
Zhang Hao shook his head like a dumbfounded goose, his trembling hand pointing to a spot: "Little sister, I think I saw a goddess."
Following Zhang Hao's direction, the woman looked over, a fleeting look of amazement crossing her eyes. In the distance stood a beautiful and lovely woman, her clear sky-blue pupils shining like jewels.
"Possessing the wisdom of heaven and earth, and free from worldly vulgarity, I always thought this was just a lie told by storytellers—"
A hint of infatuation appeared on Zhang Hao's face as he murmured, "I think I've fallen in love with her at first sight."
Before she could even react, her brother had already pushed through the crowd and resolutely rushed towards his goddess, leaving behind a resolute declaration: "Hesitation leads to defeat, true love is never given away for nothing!"
At this moment, Meng Hongchen was enjoying happiness when suddenly, as if sensing something, she saw Zhang Hao, who was extremely excited.
He stopped two meters away from Meng Hongchen, Zhang Hao staring at the person in the distance with a somewhat infatuated look.
He became increasingly captivated by her stunningly beautiful face and the feeling of her being like the girl next door. He had met a woman he was willing to protect for the rest of his life.
With his heart pounding like a drum and showing no signs of slowing down, Zhang Hao revealed a set of snow-white teeth and said, "My father, Zhang Erhe, you are very fortunate to have been chosen by this young master."
"roll!"
Before Huo Yuhao could even speak, Meng Hongchen scolded him with extreme disdain in her eyes. At the same time, five spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black—appeared beneath her.
It circles around in front of you.
At such a young age, the Fifth Ring Road alone is enough to strike fear into the hearts of countless people.
Not just anyone can train someone like that.
An absolute prodigy.
"My father is Zhang Erhe." Zhang Hao saw this scene and, although he was somewhat intimidated, he still uttered these harsh words.
His father was an elder of the Earth Dragon Gate.
Here, he is the only king.
So what if it's the Fifth Ring Road?
His father, Zhang Erhe, was a Soul Saint.
"You damned brother!"
Just then, a woman who rushed over from behind delivered a flying kick, pinning her brother to the ground.
A loud bang.
The sound of a knee crushing could be faintly heard as well.
"Ah—Little sister, what are you doing?" Zhang Hao's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the person beside him in disbelief.
However, his response was met with his younger sister's merciless hands, which slammed his head to the ground. Her voice trembled as she replied, "I'm sorry, Tower Master. My brother was ignorant. Please forgive him."
"Oh, you know me?"
Huo Yuhao, carrying a pile of things behind him, walked out and looked at the wise and shrewd man in front of him with great interest.
"Yes—yes."
"I saw you through the door before."
The woman lay face down, her delicate body trembling.
Not long ago, she thought her brother, who had been suppressing his emotions for a long time, was about to explode again, so she rushed over to try to persuade him. Unexpectedly, she suddenly saw a very familiar figure in the dream world.
That was none other than "Huo Yuhao!"
Her brother has been confined to the house for more than a month, for fear of offending Huo Yuhao.
I suddenly learned today that Huo Yuhao has left.
My older brother couldn't wait to come out.
Unexpectedly, we still ran into each other.
At this moment, her heart was breaking.
"You're quite good. You can go work at the Spirit Pagoda later." Huo Yuhao nodded at the girl in front of him, then looked at Zhang Hao, who was standing to the side, too afraid to move, and said softly, "You have a nice younger sister."
Hearing this, Zhang Hao thought the matter was over.
However, Huo Yuhao said the next second, "But we can't just let it go like that."
Before Zhang Hao could react, a surge of powerful soul energy suddenly entered his body, and a crisp cracking sound rang out.
That's the sound of a martial spirit (famous sword) shattering.
Of course, Huo Yuhao also secretly left some soul power in his body.
This was rightfully his descendants.
That prevented him from ever standing up again.
Following Zhang Hao's little incident, Huo Yuhao held Meng Hongchen's hand as they walked through the crowd.
Night falls.
A slight chilly breeze blew, and a few strands of his long, snow-white hair brushed against his face, carrying a faint fragrance, like the delicate scent of some flower, subtle yet undeniably present.
After walking through the evening crowds, Huo Yuhao and his companion arrived at the most bustling night market, where dazzling lights soared into the night sky.
"Yuhao, is this a lamp?" This was the first time Meng Hongchen had ever seen such a thing, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.
"Yes, we are indeed waiting." Huo Yuhao looked at the scene before him and, remembering that it was the second day of the second lunar month, explained, "These are the traditional sky lanterns from the original Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent."
"On this day, people light sky lanterns to pray for blessings. Before lighting the lanterns, they write their wishes on them and let them rise slowly into the sky, praying that the gods in the heavens will protect them year after year."
"I see, that's really amazing."
Meng Hongchen seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly pointed to the lantern and said with a smile, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do, how about we light one too?"
'
The sky lanterns in Dilong City are made by gluing together a thin sheet of paper into a large paper bag shaped like a lantern. Pulling out the wooden strip at the bottom turns it into a sky lantern. The price is very cheap and reasonable; you can buy one for five copper coins.
Seeing Meng Hongchen's expectant eyes, Huo Yuhao simply agreed.
Anyway, it's quite far from the Sun and Moon Empire.
It's fine to take a short rest.
Meng Hongchen was very happy to have Huo Yuhao's arm around her.
She looked up, her sky-blue eyes gradually blurring, as if she could see sky lanterns shining in the distant sky, illuminating everyone who released them, sending them warm love.
I have gained a new understanding and feeling about life in the original Three Kingdoms period.
Compared to the dazzling splendor of the Sun and Moon Empire, life here seems exceptionally interesting and pleasant.
Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen stood on either side of the sky lantern, their faces reflected in the thin paper. The soft rustling of their pens against the paper echoed in their ears. They were unusually serious as they wrote down their wishes, stroke by stroke.
"Yuhao, what are you writing?" Xiao Hongchen blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.
"It's nothing!"
Huo Yuhao gently touched her lips with his fingertip, indicating that this matter was private and no one should know about it.
"All right!"
Although somewhat disappointed, Meng Hongchen did not press the matter further. She nodded gently as she gazed at the star-like sky lantern and casually tossed Huo Yuhao an ice pop she had just bought.
Looking at the popsicle that was missing a piece and covered in saliva, Huo Yuhao really didn't know what to say.
The two then took a tinderbox, lit the candle at the bottom, and held the soft top with both hands. The heat filled the interior of the lantern, and it rose into the air.
At first, it looked very large, like a house floating in mid-air, emitting an orange-red light, but gradually became smaller and smaller until it became a star.
Lights drifted across the dark night sky. Xiao Hongchen and Huo Yuhao stood side by side, their hearts soaring into the night sky as they quietly watched their hopes drift away.
The two held hands, and the biting cold wind could not extinguish the warmth in their palms.
The dim lighting made people forget the passage of time until the pedestrians on the long street gradually thinned out, and only then did they realize that the night had deepened.
I'm completely unable to leave today.
I guess I'll just have to go back to sleep for now.
Tomorrow he will leave Earth Dragon City and head towards the Sun Moon Empire, his goal being his sixth spirit ring.
On the other hand, when the Zhang family learned of this news, instead of getting angry, they kicked Zhang Hao out of their home and cut off all contact with him.
The woman then entered the Spirit Transmission Tower.
This can be considered a means of achieving a balance.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao's clone embarked on the road to Heavenly Soul City.
